But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.2Corinthians 3:18

God defined love. His definition of love is

the essence of life. He designed it to be that way, but the world we live in is a mess. ...for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ....causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

What’s the use? We're people who love Jesus, people who have suffered life abuses and recognize value in coming together as we look to God for His direct or indirect help to grow in healthy loving relationship with Him and each other. With crazy love for God we have a holy discontent that will not tolerate leaving things as they are. The aim of our lives and our gatherings is to be consistently self-controled, led by the Holy Spirit, propelled conversationally, and focused relationally.Each person's integrity of effort before our gatherings and each person's honesty of input during our gatherings are vital and valued. Together we are invigorated in Christ as we spur one another on to love and good works" (Hebrews 10:24). Our growth in Christ positively affects our lives, our loved ones, and our communities at large!Here's a quick run-down:We get rolling with fellowship and prayer opening into an inspiration aligning the practical subject of the night with the Word. We flow from there into discussion over relevant life questions, anyone with specific prayer requests mentions them, and we pray together before we head out.
